The National Mining Association (NMA) has expressed approval for the recent actions of the House Natural Resources Committee regarding its reconciliation package. NMA President and CEO Rich Nolan issued a statement commending the committee's leadership, particularly Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and subcommittee chairs Pete Stauber (R-Minn.), Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.), Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), and vice chair Nick Begich (R-Alaska).
"The Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) and his committee leadership including subcommittee chairs Pete Stauber (R-Minn.), Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.), Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), and vice chair Nick Begich (R-Alaska) all deserve great credit for the inclusion of a range of important mining-related matters in the Natural Resources reconciliation package which passed the committee today," said Nolan.
Nolan emphasized that the legislation underscores the significance of mining to both economic and national security. He noted that it aligns with presidential directives to enhance American energy production and position the U.S. as a leading mineral producer globally. "By supporting leasing programs and reasonable royalty rates for energy production and clearing obstacles to responsible mining projects, Congress can deliver a win for all Americans on our way to renewed energy and mineral dominance," he added.
